Today, there is a growing need for the implementation of sustainability in construction. Continuous construction and rehabilitation projects have begun to deplete virgin aggregate sources. The use of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) in concrete has been regarded as a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative aggregate source. This thesis focuses on producing RCA of preserved quality through the use of a new protocol aimed at maintaining the original properties of returned-to-plant concrete. The performance of RCA with preserved quality and commercially available RCA when used in concrete was compared. Different concrete properties were evaluated including the fresh, hardened and durability characteristics. Results showed that the RCA with preserved quality performed better in many categories, including strength, drying shrinkage and salt scaling resistance compared to the commercial RCA. The use of 30% preserved-quality RCA as partial replacement of coarse aggregate produced concrete of comparable quality to that produced with virgin aggregate.

Abstract The study explores the mechanical properties of treated recycled extended polystyrene (TEPS) concrete, treated by two methods, one by heating, and the other by immersed recycled EPS in cement neat. By substituting 0 %, 15 %, 25 %, and 35 % of the coarse aggregate volume with treated recycled EPS, (for both method). Treated recycled TEPS concrete ratios are experimentally prepared, while the cement is substituted thru 10 % silica fume (SF). Tests were carried out, like compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, modulus of rupture, and density. The outcomes display the decreasing of the compressive strength, tensile strength and modulus of rupture of TEPS concretes with rise TEPS percentage around 26 %, 17 % and 32 %, respectively (35% TEPS) related to standard concrete. They also show that TEPS concrete density decrease about 30 % of normal concrete. The TEPS is suitable in concrete and meets provisions.

This paper presents the results of investigation conducted to evaluate structural performance of lateritic concrete containing palm kernel shell (PKS) as partial replacement of coarse aggregate by weight. The properties evaluated were: workability, density, compressive strength, microstructure, sorptivity, and water absorption of lateritic concrete with PKS specimens. The coarse aggregate fraction of the lateritic concrete was partially replaced with PKS of up to 50% at interval of 10% by weight. The results showed that: (i) the use of PKS to partially replace the coarse aggregate in lateritic concrete resulted in harsh concrete with low workabilities, (ii) lateritic concrete with PKS as partial replacement of coarse aggregate of up to 50% developed densities that can be used for normal concrete application, (iii) lateritic concrete with PKS as partial replacement of coarse aggregate of up to 10% developed strength that is comparable to the specimens without PKS, (iv) the SEM images of lateritic concrete samples showed a progressively porous internal structure with PKS and (v) lateritic concrete with PKS as partial replacement of coarse aggregate results in porous material but became less porous at longer curing ages. It can be concluded from these results that the replacement of the coarse aggregate constituent with PKS by weight not exceeding 10%, in the production of lateritic concrete, resulted in a material with satisfactory structural performance.

The consumption of natural resources like sand and stones for concrete production has resulted not only in their scarcity but also in environmental degradation associated with their extraction, and air pollution due to the generated quarry dust as result of the rock crushing. Also, with increase of mining sites in Rwanda, the amount of mine tailings has extremely increased, and their dumping is becoming a big challenge. The purpose of this study was to search for an engineering solution to the above dual problem, analyzing the performance of both mine-tailings and quarry dust as potential replacements for ordinary aggregates in concrete. The methodology consisted of evaluating the properties of the two materials, and then the analysis of strength characteristics for the new concrete manufactured using the two new aggregates. Concrete preparation was done by keeping constant the mine tailings portion as coarse aggregate, while partially replacing river sand by quarry dust at different fractions as 0%, 10%, 30% and 50%. It was established that, comparatively to normal concrete at 28 days, the compressive and tensile strengths of concrete with mine-tailings and river sand increased from 27MPA to 37.5 MPA, and from 1.9 to 3.1 MPA respectively on one hand, and on the other hand the compressive and tensile strengths decreased with partial replacement of river sand by quarry dust from 37.5 to 27.9MPA and from 3.1 to 2.3 MPA at replacements from 0% to 50% respectively. It was concluded that mine tailings and quarry dusty can be used together as concrete new aggregates in replacement of ordinary aggregates, with a due attention to concrete workability and its area of application.
